Share your offbeat Valentine's Day ideas

CHOCOLATES, FLOWERS, dinner — while there's nothing wrong with those tried-and-true ways to celebrate Valentine's Day, the IJ is looking for fun and new ideas.

Tell us what's the most unconventional thing you're done — with your sweetie or alone — for Valentine's Day?

Share your stories in 200 words or less, pictures and videos by Jan. 24, and we'll run them in the Feb. 11 Plus section — so you can perhaps inspire others. Email lifestyles@marinij.com with your name and Marin town, and put "Valentine's" in the subject line.
